  • a peek behind the fence naturalistic observations of aggressive children with remote Audiovisual Recording
    Developmental Psychology, 1995
    Co-Authors: Debra Pepler, Wendy M Craig
    Abstract:

    This article describes a methodology that is uniquely suited to study peer interactions, particularly those of aggressive children. To date, researchers have used laboratory and naturalistic observations to investigate children's aggressive interactions. To overcome difficulties such as the constraints of laboratory situations and reactivity to proximal observations, video cameras and wireless microphones were used in a study of the peer relations of aggressive and nonaggressive children. Details about the equipment and procedures are provided, along with logistical and ethical considerations. Remote Audiovisual observations provide a unique opportunity to observe children's interactions that generally occur beyond adults' view. The primary strength of this observational methodology is its external validity. Children being observed are completely mobile on the school playground and are able to choose the activities and partners for their play. The effectiveness of this methodology is illustrated with results from our studies of children on school playgrounds. Researchers have identified peer relations as an important mechanism in the development of adaptive and maladaptive behaviors (e.g., Hartup, 1983; Parker & Asher, 1987). In the case of aggressive children, peer interactions are presumed to exacerbate behavior problems and propel these children along the trajectory to an antisocial lifestyle (Cairns, Cairns, Neckerman, Gest, & Gariepy, 1988; Patterson, DeBaryshe, & Ramsey, 1989). The study of aggressive children's peer relations has taken many forms: self-reports, peer reports, and adult reports; laboratory paradigms; and naturalistic observations. At present, there are gaps and inconsistencies in our understanding of the peer relations of aggressive children because of methodological issues such as the lack of agreement between raters (Loeber, Green, Lahey, & Stouthamer-Loeber, 1989), the constraints of laboratory situations, and the difficulty of naturalistic observations with school-age children (Asher & Hymel, 1981). To overcome some of these methodological difficulties, we used video cameras and remote microphones to observe peer interactions of aggressive and nonaggressive children on the school playground. In this article, we discuss observational methodologies commonly used in the study of children's aggressive behavior, review the strengths and weaknesses of each methodology, describe our alternative observational strategy, and illustrate its effectiveness in addressing the challenge of naturalistic observations of aggressive children on the school playground.

  • the clinical and pathophysiological relevance of rem sleep behavior disorder in neurodegenerative diseases
    Sleep Medicine Reviews, 2009
    Co-Authors: Joan Santamaria, E Tolosa
    Abstract:

    REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD) is characterized by vigorous movements associated with unpleasant dreams and increased electromyographic activity during REM sleep. Polysomnography with Audiovisual Recording is needed to confirm the diagnosis of RBD and to exclude other sleep disorders that can mimic its symptoms including obstructive sleep apnea, nocturnal hallucinations and confusional awakenings. RBD may be idiopathic or related to neurodegenerative diseases, particularly multiple system atrophy, Parkinson's disease and dementia with Lewy bodies. RBD may be the first manifestation of these disorders, antedating the onset of parkinsonism, cerebellar syndrome, dysautonomia, and dementia by several years. RBD should thus be considered an integral part of the disease process. When effective, neuroprotective strategies should be considered in subjects with idiopathic RBD. Patients with other neurodegenerative diseases, though, such as spinocerebellar ataxias, may also present with RBD. When clinically required, clonazepam at bedtime is effective in decreasing the intensity of dream-enacting behaviors and unpleasant dreams in both the idiopathic and secondary forms. When part of a neurodegenerative disorder the development of RBD is thought to reflect the location and extent of the underlying lesions involving the REM sleep centers of the brain (e.g., locus subceruleus, amygdala, etc.), leading to a complex multiple neurotransmitter dysfunction that involves GABAergic, glutamatergic and monoaminergic systems. RBD is mediated neither by direct abnormal alpha-synuclein inclusions nor by striatonigral dopaminergic deficiency alone.
